Review:

1917farmgirl says:Oh, that was heartbreaking! I just have this uncontrollable urge to just hug Luna after reading that!

I've often thought about Luna and that dungeon. It was such a little detail that JKR dropped in the story, that Luna was there and had been stuck in that dungeon for a long time, and I'm sure most kids reading it just kinda glossed over it or thought of it as another part of the adventure. But, as we talked about before, reading it as an adult gave it so much more meaning. Here was a 16 year old girl who had been imprisoned by ultimate evil for who knew how long... That was not a little fact to gloss over - no, it spoke more than almost anything about what The Dark Lord was all about.

I love how you've written Luna here. She is so very hard to write at times, and you've done her so well, and is such an awful situation. Of all the characters, Luna retained her innocence the most, and knowing what she went through, that makes it all the more amazing. I don't think she was naïve, or blind to what was really happening, I just think she managed the most to not let it destroy or change her.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. It really, really touched me in a very deep way.

Author's Response: Thank you so, so much for your review and for the compliments.

Yeah, Luna's ordeal was just mentioned almost in passing, I guess to give a reason as to why a good character could betray Harry, but it must have been extremely traumatic and like I said, I like stories which show how the war affected people.

I'm glad you liked how I wrote Luna. She's a hard character to write in a situation like this, because she seems almost otherworldly and it's hard to imagine how she'd react to such cold reality.
